Cal 1, page 467).—One of the best-marked varieties of this troublesome species, characterized by the "thinner, broader, undulate-toothed leaves, which are suddenly contracted into a petiole, and calyx-lobes about half as long as the capsule".—Colorado, New Mexico (72); Arizona. (Albino form from Mount Graham, at 9,250 feet, 409.) Collected also by Loew in Arizona, but no locality assigned. Nevada. Steieonema lanceolatum, Gray 1 (Proc. Amer.

Gray (Amer. Jour. Sci 2, 14, 44; Ton-., Pacif R. R. Rep. 7, t 7).—Branching from a woody base, 6'-2° high, slightly hispidly-puberulent; leaves thickish, entire, margins somewhat revolute, 1-2" wide and 3-10" long; yellow flowers, in a corymb or panicle, the 7-10 setaceous lobes of the calyx somewhat exceeding the tube of the corolla, and also a little longer than the mature capsule.—Santa F^, N. Mex. (60), and Southern Arizona (561). Menodoea scopaeia, Engelm. (Fl. Cal. 1, p. 471). (M. scabra, var. glabrescens, Gray in Watson's Cat. Pl.

Feaxinus anomala, Torr.—Arizona. Feaxinus coeiacea, Watson, Amer. Nat. 7, 302.—" Leaflets 1-2 pairs, coriaceous, obovate or oblong, 1-2' long, truncate or rounded at the apex * Menodoea, H. B. K.—" Calyx with a short and turbinate tube, and 5-14 narrow lohes from its truncate border. Corolla campanulate, funnel form or almost rotate, mostly 5-lobed; the lobes imbri¬ cated in the bud. Stamens 2, sometimes 3, on the tube of the corolla: anthers oblong or linear. Style slender; stigma obtuse or somewhat 2-lobed. Capsule didymous, mostly 2parted, membranaceous at maturity, circnmoissile, the upper part of each lohe falling off as a lid leaving the scarious membrana¬ ceous base. Seeds 2 (or rarely fewer in each cell), ascending, large aud with a fleshy, or when dry a spongy outer coat, destitute of albumen.—Low and undershrubhy or nearly herbaceous plants; with sessile leaves, not rarely alternate and terminal, mostly somewhat cymose flowers, which are rather showy."—Fl.
